From Module 2 and your career report, Please define and explain what a soft skill (or durable skill) is and give examples.

How does the feedback mechanism ensure the load current remains stable?

Your classmates program is supposed to read in the voltage values then send them to Processing. However the program is not reading in values correctly and they are having issues sending it to Processing using COM3 at 9600 baud. They are using A14 – Voltage and A15 – Current to read in the voltage values. int currentReading; int voltageReading; void setup(){ } void loop(){ voltageReading = digtalRead(14); currentReading = digtalRead(15); Serial.println(“V”+voltageReading+”I”=currentReading); }

An Arduino analog input pin is providing a value of 500 from the ADC when measuring the “Load Current” signal in the system. 1) What is the bit resolution of the Arduino ADC found on your microboard (1 Point) 2) What is the load current in the system in mA? Please show your calculations. (2 Points)

The following table shows the behavior of a 12V SLA battery under increasing load currents. Review the data and answer the questions below. Load Current (A) Load Voltage (V) 0.0 14.2 0.5 14.0 1 13.9 1.5 13.5 2 13.2 2.5 12.7 3 9.9 3.5 7.6 4 5.5 4.5 3.3 At what point does the battery appear to be overloaded? 

To fully open the the IRF540, you would need at least 10V on the gate. 1) Why can’t our current circuit open the gate to 10V? (2 Points) 2) What changes would we need to complete to fully open the gate to 10V? (2 Points)

What is the voltage range that the DS1803  can operate at?

If the 1Ω load resistor is increased to 5Ω as shown below, and the digital potentiometer wiper voltage (at pin 12) measures 3.5V, what is the current flowing through the load resistor? Type your answer in milliamps.
